Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Idaho Springs, CO.

If you suffer from panic attacks, unrelenting worries or an incapacitating phobia you may have an anxiety disorder. But you don't have to live with anxiety and fear. I provide certain types of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy which will control your anxiety levels, and conquer your fears. When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is the most effective option. That's because anxiety therapy--unlike anxiety medication--treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. You can uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; develop coping and problem solving skills; and look at situations in new less frightening ways.

In addressing anxiety and stress, I work with you to externalize these experiences, helping you see them as influences rather than defining aspects of who you are. Together, we’ll examine how anxiety and stress have woven themselves into your life, noticing the stories they tell about limitations or fears. By identifying your own values, strengths, and responses to these influences, we create openings for new ways of engaging with situations that previously felt overwhelming. This approach fosters a sense of agency, allowing you to navigate life’s pressures with resilience, clarity, and a greater sense of calm.

There are few things worse than anxiety and stress. This may present itself as a base level constant companion that is tolerable but painful, or it may present itself as an almost debilitating feeling of impending doom. However stress or anxiety presents itself in your life, it sucks. Anxiety has been described as "future fear," which makes it particularly asinine, because it can seem impossible to pinpoint. Talking through your stresses, anxieties and fear with a psychotherapist can be very helpful. There are also a number of tools and techniques that are extremely effective.

Anxiety and Stess: I work with my clients to help them manage, reduce, and eliminate their stress and anxiety. EFT Tapping is one of the primary techniques that I use with my clients to help them with their stress and anxiety. I help them to find out what is underneath the stress and anxiety, often it is a hidden fear or limiting belief system. Tapping is one of the absolute best mind body clearing techniques for stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. It works incredibly well to rewire the subconscious mind and calm the body's nervous system. My clients have experienced profound results with EFT Tapping. The benefits include feeling more relaxed, present, happier, calmer, and more joyful.

Anxiety is about the future! "What if I.....?" "And what if she.....?" Think of it as stage fright. "They wont like me." et cetera. You torture yourself with low level probabilities about furute negative consequences to your actions. It can be immobilizing and very self-limiting. I can teach you to devleop the skills of mindfullness in daily life. When you live more fully in this moment, you are less caught up in the possible failures of the next moment. This may sound easy but it is not. It requires weeks of concerted practice to break free of the habit of thinking about what might happen next. But when you do, you open yourself up to a more peaceful existence.

Lao Tzu said, "If you're anxious, it's because you're living in the future. If you're at peace, it's because you're living in the present." Often anxiety looks like leaving the present moment and projecting into the future, trying to think 10 steps ahead about things that haven't happened yet. This future thinking leads to stress in the present. I teach clients how to tune into their emotions (including anxiety), their bodies (as an anchor to the present moment) and move through anxiety as it arises using their breath. Anxiety and stress don't have to run your life. I'm here to support you in regulating your anxiety and stress by staying with yourself in the present moment.

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there.

The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.

Living with anxiety and panic attacks can be extremely painful and effect every area in a persons life. Every day can be a private battle living with anxiety. Since humans feel anxiety, we can't get rid of ever feeling anxiety again. We can, however, change the experience we have with anxiety to have a different outcome. Counseling for anxiety and panic attacks explores how anxiety shows up in your life, the roots, and discovering strategies for learning how to live a meaningful life.

Anxiety and stress are uncomfortable. Sometimes (not always), these symptoms can be part of a larger system at play. By taking a deeper look, we can explore the source of these experiences and not only understand them, but live in congruence with them. The more willing you are to explore the past and understand how this impacts the present, the easier it may be to manage what is happening for you.

Anxiety and stress are a part of everday life and effect all of us. The key is how you deal with your anxiety and stress.

Stress also has a variety of causes, both real and imagined. No matter what the issue is, I can help you put it into perspective by pointing out that which you have no control over, pulling the issue apart so you can understand what is your responsibility and using deep breathing methods to help calm you down. Reducing your level of stress and anxiety will make you happier and healthier.
